What is Curtain Walling?

Curtain walling is a non-structural exterior covering of a building, typically made of lightweight materials like glass, aluminium, or steel.

It serves as a protective barrier while enhancing the building’s appearance. Unlike load-bearing walls, curtain walls only support their own weight and protect the interior from external elements such as wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations.

Proactive maintenance helps avoid costly repairs and ensures your curtain wall continues to perform optimally.

Regular maintenance for commercial curtain walls is essential to prevent deterioration caused by environmental exposure, sealant failure, and structural movement.

If neglected, these issues can compromise the building’s energy efficiency, safety, and overall lifespan.

What Are the Benefits of Professional Curtain Wall Repair?

Professional curtain wall repair restores the structural integrity, energy efficiency, and appearance of your building’s facade, preventing further damage and costly replacements.

Here are the key benefits:

Enhanced Structural Integrity: Repairs fix damaged components, ensuring the curtain wall remains secure and stable.
Improved Energy Efficiency: Sealing gaps and replacing faulty glazing reduces heat loss, lowering energy costs.
Weatherproofing and Leak Prevention: Proper repairs prevent water ingress, protecting the building’s interior from moisture damage.
Aesthetic Restoration: Fixing cracks, broken glass, or discoloured panels enhances the building’s visual appeal.
Cost Savings: Timely repairs prevent the need for full replacements, reducing long-term expenses.
Compliance with Safety Standards: Ensures that the curtain wall meets UK regulations for structural and environmental performance.

How Much Does Curtain Walling Repair Cost?

Basic repairs such as sealant replacement cost between £100 and £300 per linear metre.

More extensive repairs, including glass replacement or structural reinforcement, range from £500 to £1,500 per affected area.

The cost of curtain walling repair varies depending on the extent of damage, the type of materials involved, and the complexity of access.

For an accurate estimate for your glass, aluminium or timber curtain wall repair, we recommend booking an on-site consultation to assess your specific requirements.

What Common Issues Indicate the Need for Curtain Walling Repair?

Common signs that your curtain wall system needs repair include visible cracks, failed seals, condensation between glass panes, water leakage, and loose or corroded framing elements.

Additionally, drafts, increased energy bills, and noticeable façade damage are key indicators of underlying issues.

Ignoring these warning signs can lead to more significant damage and expensive repair work.

How Often Should Curtain Walling Systems Be Inspected?

We recommend inspecting curtain walling systems at least once a year, with additional checks after severe weather events.

Regular inspections help identify early signs of wear, allowing for prompt repairs and preventing small problems from escalating into major structural concerns.

What Materials Are Used in Curtain Walling Repairs?

We use high-quality materials that match the existing components of your curtain wall system.

Common materials include aluminium curtain walling and steel framing, energy-efficient glazing, structural silicone sealants, and durable waterproof membranes.

By sourcing the best materials, we ensure a seamless finish that enhances both performance and appearance.

How Do You Address Water Leakage in Curtain Wall Systems?

Water leakage is a common issue that can lead to serious damage if left untreated.

Our process involves identifying the source of the leak through pressure testing and visual inspections.

Once located, we replace failed seals, repair cracked joints, and install waterproof membranes where necessary to provide long-lasting protection against future water intrusion.

Do You Offer Emergency Repair Services for Curtain Walling?

We provide emergency repair services for curtain walling to address urgent issues such as broken glass panels, severe water leaks, and structural damage.

Our rapid-response team is available to secure the affected area and carry out immediate repairs to protect your building and ensure safety.

Why is Curtain Wall Repair Better Than A Replacement?

One of the biggest advantages of repair is cost savings.

Full replacements involve extensive labour, material costs, and potential downtime for the building, whereas targeted repairs address specific issues at a fraction of the cost.

Minimal disruption ensures that businesses or residents can continue using the property without major construction work.

A well-executed repair also extends the lifespan of your curtain wall by addressing issues such as leaks, failed seals, or damaged panels.

Modern repair techniques can restore energy efficiency, prevent water ingress, and maintain structural integrity without the need for a completely new system.
